While all of our members who want race for Team BAAN we have selected 8 members to compose BAAN's 2008 Sponsored Race Team, View more about our team below.
Bannedatatvnews.com 2008 Race Team
Let me start by explaining what BAAN is. www.bannedatatvnews.com is an ATV forum started in early 2003. The site was founded on these core beliefs: freedom of speech, honesty, humor and most importantly loyalty to its members. In keeping with our beliefs, it is important you understand BAAN contains adult banter, do not let this distract from the fact that our race team members are dedicated, professionals and popular racers. Our race team members are working professionals in jobs ranging from construction, business owners (C&D Racing, Certified Pest Control, JC Inc.), US Naval Reserves, to working with DOD contracts via General Dynamics.
Since the inception of BAAN, the site has attracted a cult-like following which includes many pro and amateur racers, company owners and other well-known individuals associated with ATV'ing. BAAN also setup a tournament to highlight its member's achievements annually at the Ironman GNCC and have been doing so under the BAAN name un-sponsored since 2004, we are the only ATV forum to issue awards for our members performance. However we feel it is time to expand and become the only ATV forum that fields an actual seasonal, sponsored race team.
Our racers were selected based on the following criteria: Their ability as racers, their dedication to complete specified series, enthusiasm and their approachability/popularity trackside.

We hope this 2008 season is successful with even more success 2009 season, as we are the 1st forum to field a genuine seasonal race team, we hope to be a paradigm for other forums.
Another truly unique part of our race team program is that we have just decided to add and online donation program (donations rates are based on our finishes), a donation box set up at our pits and other 1 time donations. All money received in donation will be split 50/50 with 50% going to the National Foundation for Abused and Neglected Children (NFANC (is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect.)) and 50% going to the RiderDown Foundation (RDF (is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping responsible off road motorcyclists and ATV racers who have been injured while riding. Proceeds are used to provide assistance to the riders and their families when faced with medical expenses and related issues.))We will create a web page to highlight companies who have donated (with their company logo) and also include individual names of donors (amounts donated will not be included).
The online per race program will be a donation based on each riders finish in each race. It will be set up as a donation for class winner, a lesser amount for top 10 finish in class and al lesser amount again for a top 20 in class finish.
With 8 racers and about 13 races each it works out to 104 races on the year.
